This seems like a better option than riding faders (volume automation) as one can get a more consistent level before hitting compressors etc... I've seen a video of someone doing it on pro tools but am at a loss for utilizing this technique in Cubase.

When I set up a group track should it be mono or stereo? Thanks

I recently recorded a song that feature myself and a female member of our band. The song is a simple affair of acoustic guitar/2 vocals, electric guitar. I tracked both vocals in the same room using the same room, mic, mic placement, gain staging average -17. When I listened back to both the...

Hi I've recently just bought one of these IK Multimedia | iRig Acoustic Stage - Advanced digital microphone system for acoustic guitar Its basically a clip on microphone (sound hole) When I connect the output to a line channel on my interface the signal is significantly low, even with the...

Looking to upgrade from my Presonus firestudio project. I'm running on Windows 10, Cubase 8. Would prefer something by universal audio but all the newer stuff is thunderbolt. Can't justify getting a Mac or spending a shed load on a hi spec pc. What does everyone recommend?

hi, The recommended LUFS target for mastering is -18lufs (for spotify) as anything louder will just be turned down. So, in theory there is no point in heavily compressing/limiting our songs. To coincide with this, a quieter track (perhaps a reading of -21 LUFS) will get turned up. However...

I'm using a NT1a to track my vocals and a rode m3 to record acoustic guitar. Now, the NT1a perfectly isolates the vocal with very little guitar bleed (I'm playing and singing standing up to increase the distance from both mics/sources) What compromises this is the guitar Mic. It picks up way...

I've read a few articles that say to do this. Although what about when I want to monitor/track something at a lower level? Leaving it at unity forces one to listen at a louder level. Perhaps the articles are just referring to the mono ins and not the main tracks that are used for mixing post...

So I've got the new Nugen mastercheck plugin to monitor my loudness levels and have started to wonder about a few things. For instance Spotify's new lufs normalisation has been lowered to -14 lufs, So from what I can gather from the manual this would be a good starting point for printing our...

What's the best way to do This? Does VLC player normalise/compress audio? It appears to be the same loudness as what my DAW is at... so, I often find myself referencing a track playing in VLC, especially when mastering... With Spotify now normalizing at -14 lufs I found it a bit odd that a...

How comes when I have ez drummer track set at unity along with my own recorded tracks does it sound so much louder, even without any type of processing etc I noticed that each drum hit averages a lot louder than the typical -18dbfs that is used as the standard for gain staging. I'm guessing...

I've managed to get a really nice, natural and open stereo (spaced pair, neck and bridge) recording that I'll start using for tracking all acoustic guitar parts. Problem is one of the mics has noticeably more hiss than the other, the mic in question being a rode m3. The bridge mic NT1a has more...

I'm looking for a decent midi controller/keyboard for 250. 49 keys, use with Cubase 8 artist Shoot! ;)

hi all, Whenever I create a workspace with the Mixer in view the mixer is consequently put behind the main project window when recalled, thus eliminating it from view. I know i can just use F3 but I'd like to recall the mixer and the plugins I have on the master bus. D

YouTube A song I recorded live in my dining room Hope you all enjoy

If I'm only using two mics to record voice and guitar should the distance of the mics (regardless if close or distant) always be kept the same (for both mics) to avoid phase issues? I've been tracking things separately for awhile now, the reason being is that I performed some really nice takes...

Every article/video I've read/seen says to cut the lows on most tracks to clean up the low end of a mix. However, what about sparse acoustic material? (guitar/vocal) I find that my recordings/mixes are sounding much better in general using many of the techniques I've learnt, but sometimes...

Up until recently I was using my groggy basement as a studio. It was great for getting dry recordings but lacked the comfort and inspiration needed to finish projects. I've since bought a few wall panels for my living/dining room which is direcly above the basement. The flooring is basic...

Keaton Henson - Epilogue (Official Video) - YouTube If you listen on headphones the vocal is right up front and intimate. Almost as if the voice is inside your head going outwards haha How has the engineer got it to sit where it is without the piano being totally buried? The guy singing has...

hi all, just a quick one. Ive tracked everything to average of about -12dbfs. However, I checked the first plugin (Waves CLA-2A) on the inserts of one of my tracks (vocals) and when I checked the input going into the compressor it's hitting around -12 to about -8 on the vu meter. I don't know...
